breezing by the plus section



Recommended Posts

for the first time in 10 years, i finally breeze by the plus section without even glancing at it. it was so weird in the beginning once i got to "normal" sizes. i felt so unsure that i would fit into "regular" sizes. i started at a size 24 last November and now i am a .... wait for..... SIZE 8. that's 8 sizes down in 8 months and i am still not even at goal weight! when i was 140lbs before, i was a size 12. muscle certainly weighs more than fat! i can't remember the last time i was a size 8!!

also... so.many.more.clothing.options. HALLELUJAH.

Yeah April, isn't the selection fantabulous when you leave plus sizes behind! I have reverted to Junior sizes, Okay I admit, it's the Upper side of the size range, but I AM STILL LOSING AFTER ALL!

It feels good to go to the smaller size sections of stores . . . but it still amazes me (surgery in 2016) that I can fit such small clothes.

Congrats to everyone on their loss - -#imaloser

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
